Sometimes the most simplistic dinners can end up to be the most memorable. For us, it is Family Nachos. The children\u2019s excitement in the air just cannot be contained \u2026 this is their favorite. Every Friday, we make it a point to have Family Fun Night. This always includes something fun to eat for dinner, board or video games and of course, lots of family time together.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Nachos are an easy, delicious meal and a one plate wonder if you will. The children love to make this dinner. Each of them contributes their favorite ingredients, resulting in one big pan for all of us to share together.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a meal you can switch up every time you have it and the clean-up is minimal which makes momma happy. And an easy dinner makes time for more family fun.\u00a0<\/span>Here is one of our many different versions we like to enjoy:<\/span><\/p>\n
